DQE announce they will close between Xmas and New year this year. If you've used all your holidays, tough s**t you will have to take them unpaid or take from next years allocation.

Might pop in for a few cheeky stripes for old times sake!

It won't be long until FMC OWNS Dril-Quip. A US federal judge has issued a work stoppage injunction for theft of FMC's intellectual property on it's tree design. See the Form 8-K issued recently by DQ.

It has been decided! Blake is to retire. Who is a successor?

I’d love to see some of the “ old friends”

The people left are only in that sh– hole because they were the rubbish left !!! Good operators all went of on choice

What do you expect from people who work in such toxic environment? This place has been going down the hill for years now - politics, nepotism, verbal abuse... these are just a few things we need to deal with on a daily basis. Being able to vent here... —  read more 

I was chomping at the bit to get going at DQE today. I just thank the lord everyday that I am still here. Not only have I taken a massive wage drop but the gaffer lets me do more work for my wage drop. I love getting paid less for doing the job of... —  read more 

Jobs for the boy's. BU has a new pet gimp.

Blake is making a fool of employee's. While there are pay cuts and redundancies going on Blake has taken a slight cut in base salary but yet his total compensation package has increased 7.1% despite the company taking a 33% loss over the last 3... —  read more 

I’d like to know

So they have machinists doing labourers jobs now and biscuit boy looks s–c-dal. Never mind boy's this is just the begining, remember you wanted it.

It's not breaking any rules.

DQ have just posted this on social media: "Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change." – Bob Kerrey #PayItForward #DrilQuip WTF, seems like a bit of a pi$$take.

Coming up soon

Six weeks and I feel like a new man. I forgot what it feels like to not dread going into work every morning. The only thing I miss are my coworkers, but to them I wish to find a way out of DQ as soon as they can, since I don't remember any one of... —  read more

How many in total?

Points have been fabricated so that even if someone wins an appeal they still won't get enough to be safe.

Why has IB never asked they people applying for VR why they want to leave. One or two, sure you can ignore but given the numbers involved requesting it surely he must be asking himself why so many people want to leave. If he had taken time to ask I'm... —  read more 

No shock that the 2 lead hands and at least one supervisor have accepted the sc-aps off the foremans table by accepting the immoral bump. At least the other supervisor will hopefully keep some dignity about himself. How you lot sleep at night knowing... —  read more

When is controls department last day? Is there going to be a time to drop off trucks. This company needs to communicate this is ridiculous

Deleting posts that don't break any rules and only because you don't like them.

Byrd should be a CEO! Company will turn profitable under his leadership.

I can’t believe there are supervisors and chargehands away to take other machinists jobs and in the process getting pay cuts, stripped of titles,and turning down tens of thousands in redundancy money! how sad are they...there is life outside that... —  read more 

Seriously. Blake. When will you retire?

This guy is deluded. With everything going on, who cares about the townhall meeting. What a complete waste of time and inappropriate time to hold one. Everyone has more to worry about than a meeting that will be full of the same rubbish. A fake sob... —  read more
